• Kanaan ends two-year winless streak at Iowa

  Newton, IA (Sports Network) - Tony Kanaan snapped a 34-race winless drought in the IZOD IndyCar Series by taking Sunday's Iowa Corn Indy 250 at Iowa Speedway.

  Kanaan, the 2004 series champion, passed Helio Castroneves with 10 laps remaining and then held off Castroneves at the finish by 4.2 seconds. It was Kanaan's 14th career IndyCar win, but his first since June 2008 at Richmond.

  E.J. Viso finished a career-best third, while Ryan Briscoe and Will Power, the pole sitter, rounded out the top-five.

  Power now holds an 11-point lead over Scott Dixon, who finished sixth. Dario Franchitti, who won at Iowa in 2007 and '09, suffered a gear-box issue late in the race and wound up finishing 18th. The defending series champion fell 14 points behind Power.
